RIGIQ1'i.De1be1t and He - He joined the Roman Cath- - Wayne and Mmferfe Pearce olic Church at the age of axlne Kelderrno 15 and was baptized in a an' village near Warsaw, Poland. At the age of 17 he went to Hamburg, Germany and became a Presbyterian Missionary to the Jews. While there he accepted Christ as his Saviour. In May of 1913 he left Europe for ARGENTINA, In 1918 he took up nurses train- ing and graduated in December of 1921. Peter came to the United States of America in May of 1922 to study for the ministry. He lived in Los Angeles until 1936. Upon arriving in the States he realized the smallness of his education. First of all, he was left an orphan at eleven years of age. While studying long hours at nursing he had no time to further his education. In order to become an American citizen he had to enter civil service which required a high school education. He therefore entered night schools because he was too old to enter day schools. He attended God's Bible School at Cincin- nati, Ohiog Kansas City Bible School and later came to Open Bible In- stitute. Upon coming to Bible School he could speak fluently in three languages and read and write in seven. Bro. Kizner graduated from Open Bible Institute in 1940. Since then he has been doing Missionary work in ARGENTINA, the land of his call- ing. 31

Dear Mis sionaries Everywhere: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10: 14- 15 Truly this is our motto here at Open Bible Collegeg to preach the gospel of peace. We are in Bible College not only to study but to be LIVING EPISTLES, and to send out workers into the over-ripe harvest field. During the opening weeks of the fall school term, the burden of foreign missions began to rest heavily upon the students of O, B, C, Through the combined efforts of fac- ulty and students the FOREIGN MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP was organized. This Fellowship is made up of groups of students who are primarily interested in one specific field. These groups meet individually to read letters from the missionaries, to conduct other business, and to pray for the needs of the missionaries. Once a month all the groups meet as a body to give reports on various activities of the different groups and to have combined prayer for them. The FOREIGN MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP has been a real blessing to Open Bible College and an even greater blessing, We trust, to our missionaries the world around. This spir- itual task force is doing a real work for the Lord and the effects have been and will be far reaching, and crowned with many souls. God bless you missionaries, we're praying for you!
